This is one of those ideas I couldn’t have not in 1million years from now.

This is a very simple method of creating a tripod for your camera.

To be honest I haven’t yet tried it out so I do not know if it works 100% but that’s for sure that it helps when the lens doesn’t have an image stabilizer or vibration reduction.

Take a look and if you try out this method let me know about the result.
